Good Sunday morning. Hoo boy. Not only are the temps falling, but the wind is vicious. I was very grateful for my feline thermal unit in bed with me last night!

Connie, I'm so glad to hear your friend is on the mend.

Wedding was beautiful yesterday. We didn't stay after the ceremony as the weather change is causing hubby's back to scream at him. We didn't know anyone else there, so would have been just sitting around by ourselves.

Laundry is on the list for today.

Already evening here.

And dark. A bit late for coffee now but I look forward to new WADDB tomorrow.

Happy Sunday Gameboomers!

Good that your friend is being extended such good care, connie 👍

Happy Sunday. I see a little snow on the grass outside my window. Still gloomy looking out there also.

Hope you all have a good day!

Good Sunday morning everyone.

Yesterday I was out cleaning up leaves and I noticed bubbles coming out of my fountain. I pulled up the pump cover and saw that once again, the water feature is leaking. There is almost no water circulating. That means the whole thing needs to be torn up again. Starting to wish I'd just shut the thing down entirely and built a flower bed.

It's a nice day, though, and I think I'll go for a walk.

I'm sorry to hear that, hagatha. That's the kind of thing that wears me down and makes me give up. I hope that you are able to get it fixed and done once and for all. It sounds beautiful.

Dear me !! I'm so sorry to hear that, hagatha

It seems to me that if you are having to face this disruption of your garden yet again that as well as putting things properly right this next time, these people should also be offering you some compensation for all the upset, mess and upheaval !!

They'll come back and fix it for me, but the disruption is unwelcome at the moment as I grapple with my chronic shoulder pain and the BP medication side effects.

The best cure is the walk I'm getting ready for. I might go down to the beach. It's hard to feel bad when surrounded by nature.

You are spot on Hagatha!

We are under a winter storm warning right now with a possibility of 6 - 7 inches of "lake effect" (Lake Michigan) snow in my area. It has started already. Temps to be in mid 30's Monday but back up to 60 by the week end.

Oh, my goodness, oldbroad! And here I am whining about our 20 degree temps! Stay warm and hope it goes away quickly.

Stay safe, Oldbroad.

New week!

Emergency kits available in the break room.

Over here 6 Celsius. So no snow. Stay safe Oldbroad. The lake effect can sure cause troubles..

Happy Monday GameBoomers!

Good Morning everyone! Wide Awake Double dark Brew is ready!

Hagatha you are so right about feeling good when enjoying nature...my walking every day really helps me feel good and get rid of negative thoughts!

We will be getting those 20 degrees temps tomorrow...rain today...but not too cold.

Enjoy your Monday!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Getting ready for the 30's tonight. I'm sure we will loose some of our plants, just doing the best I can. I like colder weather, the plants not so much. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Monday morning. It got down to 25 F last night with a pretty good breeze, so was REALLY cold when I went down to the Ranch at 9 to close and feed. I was SO happy to see the employees had closed all those heavy barn doors so I didn't have to - there are 20 of them!

Connie, so sorry it's going to get so cold down there!

Dragged my arse out of bed at 6 am to run down and pick up little RayLynn to meet the bus while her mom is on her honeymoon. She has her big field trip today and I didn't want her to miss it. Just came home and went back to bed!

Hagatha and Gerry, I so agree with you. There is nothing like a long walk to banish negative thoughts and troubles. Some like to walk in a group, I prefer my walks alone in the woods. Finally it's cold enough I can do that because of the ticks. But I'll have to wait a few weeks as it's deer season here right now.

Good morning everyone. Those temps are headed our way too Gerry and Draclvr...time to dress warm. Connie, we used to 'tent' our Hibiscus plants back in the day and then transitioned to moving them into the garage with grow lamps...now our garden hosts cold tolerant flowers. Hope the lake doesn't take too much effect OldBroad and you get back to warm temps sooner than later. Groceries are on my docket today and then daily chores and maybe a project.

Stay warm everyone

Nah, the predictions were off as usual. Not that I'm complaining. I think we got only 1 or 2 inches. Again, I'm not complaining about that! I wish I could get myself walking everyday like the rest of you. I really did love to walk in the past and I could certainly use the exercise!

Oldbroad, I struggle with making myself go out for a walk sometimes. Part of that these days is the brain fog effect of the new medication (I hope it wears off in time) but part of it is the feeling of "why bother?" I sometimes have to boot myself out the door. I always feel better afterwards.

Oh, I totally agree, hagatha. While once I'm walking, I love it, booting myself out the door is an effort some days! Especially if it's dark and gloomy out, I can easily talk myself into staying inside.

Good Morning connie, Fogfighter, Draclvr, soot, hagatha, oldbroad, and everyone. Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

Walking is the best activity for me at 82 "years young". I count my blessings that I am still able to take long walks...sometimes alone and sometimes with my 2 neighbors both 79. I've been walking a lot over the last couple years and average at least 6 miles a day...I walk in the morning and again in the afternoon. I'm not on any medications yet...just take vitamin B and D supplements.

It is going to be a bitter cold day today...I will have to bundle up for my walks!

Enjoy your day!

Gerry

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. It's a balmy 35 degrees this morning. It will warm up to the low 50's later today. I actually prefer the colder weather, I'm not a fan of the hot humid weather. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Tuesday morning. Very cold again last night, but starting to warm up. Supposed to be near 80 by Friday!!

Had a new horse last night. He came directly from the equine vet clinic yesterday afternoon and has a body score of 1. Which means basically a skeleton with hair. He is on a very strict refeeding schedule to wake up his organs. He is fed a mash at 7, 10, 12, 2, 4 and again at 9 pm. I had to weigh out alfalfa cubes and bran and soak it all for about half an hour. He is blanketed, but by his face, looks to be an Appaloosa. Poor guy. Don't know his circumstances at all, but probably a legal seizure.

Good day everyone!

Already afternoon again over here.
Too late for coffee now.
So tea it is.

Happy Tuesday Gameboomers!

Happy Tuesday everyone.

Connie, were you born in Florida or move there? It sounds like you are in the wrong state if you don't like hot and humid.

Drac,

Fogfighter, enjoy your afternoon tea.

I hope you each enjoy your day!
